Haider Alrammahi

Haider Alrammahi, '19 MSIS

In 2012, my family and I started a new journey by moving to the US looking for new opportunities. In 2015, I attended several open house events in Michigan to explore graduate programs that would complement my background study as a computer engineer. One of those events was at EMU where I met people from the College of Business (COB) who discussed the different graduate programs that the COB offers. Initially, I was thinking about an MBA, but later I decided to get a degree in a field that was not too far from computer engineering. I liked how the Master of Science in Information Systems (MSIS) program had classes that provide both information systems and business skills. Read more about Haider Alrammahi.

Nabeela Jaffer, '15 MSIS

I enrolled as a part-time graduate student in Eastern Michigan University’s MSIS program in 2011 and graduated in April 2015. I was one of the nontraditional students, passionate about earning a graduate degree while raising children and working as a small business owner. My bachelor’s degree was a 3-year program in Computer Science from a university in Pakistan, and I did two additional undergrad semesters at another university in Texas. The bridge program at Eastern Michigan then provided me with the opportunity to enroll in a graduate program that allowed me to explore and fulfill my passion for pursuing higher education.

Nitish Kulkarni

Nitish Kulkarni, '15 MSIS

When I arrived at EMU, it was confusing! I had no clue what was going on! With help of the staff in the graduate programs office, I was able to get going. The first semester was challenging and it was difficult to adjust to the culture. I had a goal of finishing as quickly as possible as I had 60 credits to complete [Nitish came to EMU as a Bridge student, having earned a three-year bachelor's degree rather than four]. My second semester was better. Read more about Nitish Kulkarni.
